Vladimir Zhidkov moved to Lysychansk from Stakhanov in 2014. After serving in the ATO, he founded his own business selling seeds.

When Vladimir returned from the front, where he served for 3 years, he discovered that it became very difficult to get a job in a legal specialty. His wife Irina worked as an agronomist, and the man decided to act in this direction. The couple decided that they would sell the seeds. Indeed, despite the proximity to the front line, people plant gardens, cultivate summer cottages, and such goods are always needed.

The entrepreneur opened his first store in Lysychansk in 2017, and now has expanded the trading network called “Smart summer resident” to two more points in Severodonetsk. Buyers are attracted by a wide range of products and their high quality. In the stores “Smart summer resident” you can buy seeds, soil, plant protection products and various household goods. You can also get advice and valuable advice from competent professionals.

The business of the Zhidkov family is seasonal. Spring is hot season and the most active in terms of sales. But in winter, seeds are bought a little.

“Own business requires full commitment, but you know that it is your merit, you are responsible for the business you are doing. I like this approach, ”said entrepreneur Vladimir Zhidkov.
